Behavior

Like the Acid Mushroom,the Deep Shroom posses highly acidic compounds in it's flesh that leaches into the water if it's outer-skin is pierced.As such,harvesting spores from the Deep Shroom with a Knife triggers it's acidic flesh defense,dealing 8 Damage.

Fluctuations in the local water pressure cause it to shrink,as such,when the player approaches the Deep Shroom,it will shrink,only returning to it's original form after a period of time or when the player leaves.
